Sit  (Ecumenical  Conference 
on  jffotcigtt  ^Missions  <js>  m 


REPRESENTING  THE  PROTEST¬ 
ANT  MISSIONARY  SOCIETIES 
AND  MISSIONS  OF  THE  WORLD 


will  be  held  in  New  York  City,  April  21  to  May  1, 
1900.  This  is  the  direct  successor  of  Conferences 
in  London,  1888,  and  Mildmay,  1878. 


[CUMENICAL, — As  the  early  Church  opened 
the  first  missionary  century  with  an  assem¬ 
bly  at  Antioch  to  hear  Paul  and  Barnabas,  so 
the  later  Church,  at  the  close  of  this  greatest 
of  all  missionary  centuries  will  hold  a  Conference  with 
its  mission  workers  in  the  metropolis  of  a  continent  of 
which  the  Apostles  knew  nothing. 


The  historical  term  ecumenical,  or  44  world-embrac¬ 
ing,”  will  be  even  more  applicable  to  this  gathering  than 
to  the  great  Councils  of  the  Church,  for  in  it  will  be  rep¬ 
resented  the  entire  habitable  globe*  It  will  be  distinctively 


foreign  missionary*  Its  topic  will  be  u  The  Evangelization 
of  the  Nations  n ;  its  discussions  will  bear  upon  the  prob¬ 
lems  arising  in  the  conduct  of  the  work  and  its  personnel 
will  include  workers  from  every  field* 

It  will  be  a  Conference — not  a  Council*  It  will  lay 
down  no  laws  and  settle  no  methods*  The  workers  in 
many  lands  will  come  together  to  compare  notes*  There 
will  be  free  interchange  of  ideas  and  much  information 
of  great  value  will  be  put  at  the  service  of  all* 

The  results  expected  are :  A  clearer  apprehension  of 
the  principles  and  methods  of  mission  work  drawn  from 
a  century  of  experience— -A  vindication  of  Christian 
Missions  by  an  array  of  testimony  as  to  their  influence 
and  results  that  will  convince  all  thoughtful  men  of  their 
utility  and  power — A  great  practical  advance  toward 
unity — u  That  they  may  be  perfected  into  one,  that  the 
world  may  know  that  Thou  didst  send  Me/' 


Preparation 

"  God  be  merciful  unto  us  and  bless  us ,  and  cause  His 
face  to  shine  upon  us;  that  Thy  way  may  be  known 
upon  earth ,  Thy  saving  health  among  all  nations.” 

I_J  OW  shall  we  prepare  for  the  Ecumenical  Conference  so 
as  to  reap  the  largest  results,  so  that  we  may  meet  “in 
the  fullness  of  the  blessing  of  the  Gospel  of  Christ  ?  ” 

The  Conference  does  not  begin  April  21,  1900.  Thatis 
simply  the  bringing  to  a  head  of  the  Conference  which  has 
already  begun.  The  preparation  should  not  be  confined 
to  what  is  done  by  committees  and  writers  of  papers  and 


the  delegates;  it  should  be  a  threefold  preparation  by  the 
whole  Church,  by  prayer,  by  study,  by  contributions — 

Prayer  A  concert  of  prayer  each  month  for  the 
“fullness  of  the  blessing  of  the  Gospel  of  Christ/’  re¬ 
peated  in  church  services  and  family  worship,  that  the 
Church  may  receive  a  mighty  impulse  through  the 
Ecumenical  Conference. 

Study*  A  new  and  intelligent  study  of  the  great 
problems  relating  to  the  extension  of  Christ’s  Kingdom 
throughout  the  world :  The  relation  of  the  different  forms 
of  work  to  the  central  purpose  of  preaching  the  Gospel. 
— The  Unity,  Harmony  and  Co-operation  of  the  different 
organizations  working  in  the  same  fields. — The  develop¬ 
ment  of  self-support  and  self-activity  on  the  part  of  the 
Native  Church.  These  three  principles  must  be  applied 
intelligently  in  order  to  a  comprehension  of  the  ways 
and  means  of  Missionary  Economics. 

Contributions*  As  every  Evangelical  denomination 
is  invited  to  be  represented  at  the  Conference,  every 
congregation  has  the  privilege  of  contributing  something 
towards  the  general  expenses.  It  is  thought  that  the 
sum  of  five  dollars,  which  will  not  be  burdensome  to 
most  churches,  will  accomplish  this  object  and  provide, 
without  further  cost,  for  the  sending  of  a  copy  of  the 
Report,  to  be  issued  in  two  volumes,  to  every  congrega¬ 
tion  thus  contributing. 


Plan  of  Meetings 

The  Conference  will  be  formally  opened  Saturday 
afternoon,  April  21,  with  a  meeting  in  the  main  hall,  at 
which  addresses  of  welcome  will  be  made  and  the  dele¬ 
gates  introduced;  and  will  close  with  a  farewell  meeting 
on  Tuesday  evening,  May  1. 


On  the  Two  Sabbaths  a  large  number  of  stirring 
missionary  addresses  will  be  given  by  members  of  the 
Conference  in  the  Churches  of  New  York  and  vicinity. 
It  is  possible  that  there  may  also  be  special  Conference 
services  on  Sabbath  afternoons  in  the  main  hall. 

Delegates'  Meetings  in  the  mornings,  attended  by 
the  whole  body  of  delegates,  will  be  held  in  the  main 
hall,  to  consider  the  fundamental  principles  and  discuss 
the  chief  departments  of  mission  work. 

Specialists'  Meetings  in  the  afternoon  will  be  held  in 
smaller  halls  for  more  technical  and  detailed  discussion  of 
topics  appealing  especially  to  workers  along  specific  lines. 

Each  topic  will  be  presented  in  a  carefully  prepared 
paper  not  to  exceed  twenty  minutes  in  the  reading,  the 
remainder  of  the  time  being  devoted  to  discussion  by 
speakers,  who  have  sent  in  their  names  in  advance,  who 
will  be  strictly  limited  to  five  minutes  each.  Those  taking 
the  leading  parts  in  these  discussions  will  be  experts  in 
their  several  departments,  who  are  selected  with  refer¬ 
ence  to  their  knowledge  of  and  experience  in  specific 
phases  of  missionary  activity.  Every  effort  will  be  made 
to  secure  the  very  best,  and  the  result  will  be  a  consensus 
of  testimony  of  the  highest  value. 

Public  Meetings  will  be  held  in  the  afternoons  and 
evenings.  At  these  the  most  prominent  speakers  and 
workers  from  all  parts  of  the  world  will  vividly  portray 
the  conquests  of  the  cross  in  all  lands,  the  appalling 
state  of  the  heathen  world,  the  need  of  unity  and  co¬ 
operation  and  of  an  understanding  of  the  problems  in¬ 
volved  in  the  task  of  disciplining  the  nations. 

Other  Cities*  It  is  expected  that  meetings  will  be 
held  in  other  cities  and  in  the  colleges,  both  preceding 
and  following  the  Conference,  addressed  by  speakers 
from  abroad. 


Constituency*  All  the  Evangelical  Protestant  So¬ 
cieties  conducting  Foreign  Missions  to  Unevangelized 
Peoples  in  the  World  and  all  Missionaries  so  employed. 
This  would  not  include  Missions  in  Europe  or  United 
States  of  America  and  Canada.  Each  society  is  invited 
to  appoint  at  least  two  delegates,  and  while  all  Missiona¬ 
ries  and  all  persons  from  abroad  accredited  as  represent¬ 
atives  by  their  Societies  will  be  received  as  delegates,  the 
limitations  of  such  a  gathering  will  make  it  necessary  to 
apportion  the  representation  among  the  Societies  in  the 
United  States  and  Canada  upon  some  equitable  basis. 

Hospitality*  New  York  City  and  Vicinity  will  bear 
the  pleasant  burden  of  entertaining  the  delegates  to  the 
Conference  and  of  arranging  for  their  comfort  and  en¬ 
joyment.  It  is  expected  that  hospitality  will  be  provided 
for  all  the  delegates  from  abroad.  Those  coming  from 
the  United  States  and  Canada  will  be  provided  for  so 
far  as  practicable. 

Public  Receptions*  The  plans  provide  for  a  public 
reception  for  the  delegates,  attended  by  the  President  of 
the  United  States  and  others  in  high  position,  represent¬ 
ing  the  Christian  Church,  the  Government,  Judiciary, 
Army  and  Navy,  Law,  Letters,  and  Business. 

Report*  The  great  addresses  and  the  summary  of 
the  discussions  will  be  contained  in  the  general  report  of 
the  Conference  to  be  issued  within  one  hundred  days  of 
its  adjournment.  This  ought  to  be  in  the  hands  of 
every  Christian  Pastor  and  Student  of  missionary  work 
in  the  world  who  wishes  light  on  the  problems  of  mis¬ 
sions  and  testimony  as  to  the  power  of  the  Gospel  in 
uplifting  fallen  humanity  and  establishing  a  new  social 
order  in  the  world.  It  will  be  published  in  two  volumes 
at  $2.50  and  sent  to  all  subscribing  prior  to  May  1,  1900, 
at  $1.70.  Post  paid,  $2.00.

Hark ,  hark ,  my  soul!  angelic  songs  are  swelling 

O’er  earth’ s  green  fields  and  ocean’s  wave-beat  shore. 
How  sweet  the  truth  those  blessed  strains  are  telling 
Of  that  new  life  when  sin  shall  be  no  more. 


zAnd  they  sang  a  new  song,  saying , 

' Thou  art  worthy  *  *  for  thou  wast  slain , 
and  hast  redeemed  us  to  God  out  of  every 

kindred ,  and  tongue  and  people  and  nation .
